The latest study from the Sharma Lab at UC Santa Cruz makes the mechanisms of how epigenetic information is established in sperm cells, and how that encoding affects offspring health, a little less of ...

New insights into a sophisticated process that protects sperm cells has revealed a mechanism, similar to an immune system, thwarts genetic chaos during the earliest stages of their development.

Scientists have uncovered a new way embryonic cells divide when conventional mechanisms fail. Cell division underpins all ...
